An excellent choice for the serious astronomer, the C6-R is the largest telescope in its class with over 6 times the light gathering ability of a 60mm. This deluxe quality 1200mm focal length, f/8 German Equatorial mounted achromatic refractor is an incredible value

This stereo microscope offers a great value.The rigid pillar stand has a 360° rotatable binocular head which is inclined at 45° for comfortable viewing or sharing your views without moving the microscope

The 6mm high power 1 1/4" E-Lux eyepiece is a 4-element Plössl with features that maximize it's performance at a very economical price.

Features of this series include fully coated lenses (every air to glass surface is coated with anti-reflective coatings), eyepiece cups to reduce stray light, and each model is threaded for use with eyepiece filters.

This waterproof case was designed to go with your NexStar 5 telescope. Unbreakable, watertight, dustproof, chemical resistant and corrosion proof are some of the features of this premium case that offers total protection for your equipment.

Light Pollution Reduction (LPR) Filters are designed to selectively reduce the transmission of certain wavelengths of light, specifically those produced by artificial light. This includes mercury, and both high and low pressure sodium vapor lights. In addition, they block unwanted natural light caused by neutral oxygen emission in our atmosphere (i.e. sky glow). As a result, Celestron LPR Filters darken the background sky, making deep-sky observation and photography of nebulae, star clusters and galaxies possible from urban areas. LPR Filters are not used for lunar, planetary or terrestrial photography.

The 40mm low power Omni eyepiece is a 4 -element premium symmetrical Plossl optical design. Features include blackened lens edges to minimize internal reflection and maximize contrast, multi-layer coating group on each lens surface to maximize light transmission and contrast, and each Omni goes through a two-step anodizing process to prevent reflection from the top eyepiece barrel, unlike most other manufactures who use reflective surfaces.

A T-Adapter allows you to attach your 35mm SLR camera to the prime focus of your telescope or spotting scope. This arrangement is used for terrestrial photography and short exposure lunar and planetary photography. It can also be used for long exposure deep-sky photography when using a separate guidescope.

Celestron's C8 has been a best-selling optical system for decades. Combining a repuation for optical excellence with lightweight portability and great value, the C8-SGT is the perfect choice if you're looking for an advanced computerized telescope

Omni XLT series features the stable platform of the CG-4 mount and high quality optics. Using aspheric shaping technology in conjunction with hand-figuring the optics the Omni XLT presents an image with virtually no spherical aberration.

The 5mm high power X-Cel eyepiece is a 6-element fully multi-coated optical design, the X-Cel utilizes extra low dispersion (ED) glass on its most highly curved surfaces, to minimize chromatic aberration that can hinder sharp planetary views. With a wide 55° apparent field of view, and a large 25mm clear aperture the X-Cel is one of the most comfortable eyepieces to use.
